I’ve been using screen for a little while now. It’s a brilliant little package, but it does have some shortcomings. One being, you can only be viewing one app at a time… and it takes a little getting used to.
Anyway, I happened to mention this in #humbug (irc.oz.org)… and how it’d be nice to have an ncurses workalike that used gpm and/or keystrokes, to move text windows around. Much like having a bunch of xterms on a console. One of the people pointed me to twin a text-based window manager.
(the Text WINdow Manager in action, with elinks running locally, and irssi running within a ssh session)
I’m an instant convert… now to see if this can be loaded onto dev.gentoo.org. 🙂
